Snapchat Dreams conjures up fantastical AI

Snapchat is barreling ahead with generative AI features with a new selfie tool called Dreams.

With Dreams, Snapchatters can turn selfies in fantastical versions of themselves, like a mermaid, an elf, or a knight chilling with dragons. You can access this feature by going to Memories and tapping the tab for Dreams. From there, you can choose different AI-generated selfie creations. The first eight Dreams are free, but after that, it costs $1 as an in-app purchase. If this sounds familiar, that's because Dreams is similar to Lensa and the new BeFake, which are apps specifically for creating AI-augmented selfies.
